The Blueprint 2010 Kilimanjaro Climb
Jul 6th
In December 2010 Jon & Clare Chapman, Directors at Blueprint Printing Limited in Cranleigh, are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and aim to raise £20,000 for Leukaemia Research. Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the largest free standing mountain in the world. Standing at 19,340 feet (5,895 metres), Kilimanjaro is going to be a challenge to say the least!
Leukaemia Research is the only national charity dedicated exclusively to funding research throughout the UK into the causes, treatments and cures of all blood cancers, including lymphomas, myeloma, myelodysplasia and aplastic anaemia.
We have chosen to support Leukaemia Research as it has affected those close to us; Clare’s father is currently undergoing treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia at the Royal Marsden in Sutton and in 2003 Clare lost her Uncle John to leukaemia.
We are aiming to summit Kilimanjaro on New Year’s Day 2011 and have already begun training for the event. Watch this space for more information which will be updated regularly.
